There was a time when parrots were regarded in India and elsowhero a A sacred, and anybody who dated to im jure one of them was regarded as guilty of a dreadful crime. It is true that since then they have fallen somewhat from their high estate, aud that in thi4 more degenerate ago the common Ama* zon parrot lias been shot in great num- bers in the eastern parts of Brazil foi the prosaic purpose of making a particu- lar kind of soup to which the nativen are partial, while the naturalist waxen quite eloquent when he sounds Ihn praises of parakeet pie. But in our own country, though we do not go either to the one extreme ol holding them sacred or to the other ex- treme of putting them into pies, parrots still occupy a place of honor in out households, aud a well behaved, “pretty Poll,” who has been duly instructed in tiie accomplishments of lier kind, is still the source of as great a degree of pleas- ure as ever.—Strand Magazine. Why lie Could Not Attend. An amusing instance of the expedi enta resorted to by men summoned to attend as common jurymen in order to avoid serving in that capacity occurred recently. One morning a little girl whose eyes just peered above the desk timidly exclaimed: “Please sir, father can’t come; he can’t put on bis boots.” The judge asked the nervous lifctlA creature what was the matter with hei parent. She hesitated. Evidently slid bad not been instructed further than tilt statement she had made, and looking straight into the judge’s eyes said: “ Well, sir, father don’t wear boots he’s got wooden legs. I wasn’t told to say anything else, sir; that’s all."—Lorn don Tit-Bits. Th« Street llaud’e Delight. One of the delicate delights of the street band is its propensity to scent out household musicales. In nothing, ap- parently, do these wandering musicians so much delight as to spring into blat- ant strains before the house from which issues the voice of song or the modes* music of the pianoforte. They carry the day or rather the night every time for while they can play through and over and above anything, it would tak« a self possessed and steady nerved house- hold performer to hold his own or het own against such rivalry. And then they ring the bell and extend the hat I ' Boston Commonwealth. The Names of Two Cities. On the principle of “In Borne do as the Romans do,” I think it a safe rule to pronounce the name of a piace as the residents of that place do. Hence we should speak of St. Louis as though it were written “St. Lewis,” not “St. Louee.” All good Missourians say “St. Lewis." It is a little difficult to put down in black and white the local pro- nunciation of New Orleans, but it is something like this, “New Awl-yins,” with the strong accent on the “Awl.”- Cor.

At the pres eut time everybody is somewhat of a dealer, and the consequence is that everybody can distinguish a real dia mond among a thousand bogus stones.

An Arab loves as none but an Arab cau love, but be is also mightily excit- able and easily won. An Arab sees a girl bearing water or brushwood and in a moment, almost at a glance, is as madly in love as if he had passed years of courtship. He thinks of nothing else, cares and dreams of nothing else but the girl he loves, and not infrequently, if he is disappointed iu his affection, he pines and dies. In order to commence difficult, for the door is always wids his suit he sends for a member of the open, but because the portfolios close girl’s tribe, and first insuring his secrecy and the stars disappear the moment ail by a solemn oath confesses his love and unknown face appears at the threshold Instead of animated traders the stranger only finds a few dull eyed Jews, carelessly playing a game of bezique Ah, but there is a Turk there, too; tht Turk that looks so much like Ooudere, of the Opera Comique, except that he h yellow and wears very loose trousers, but these trousers are full of diamonds. Don’t believe for a îpoment that thesti good Jews, the merchants in precious entreats his confidant to arrange au in- terview. The confidant goes to the girl, gives her a flower or a blade of grass and says: “Swear by him who made this flower and us also that you will not reveal to any one that which I am about to un- fold to you." If the girl will uot accept the pro- posal she will not take the oath, but stones, are afraid of robbers.

No strohger evidence of tto safety of electric lighting instoUntiouB can be afforded than the fact that a great many explosivee factories are now being hit by electricity. It is obvious that tn a building where the preparation of inflasnjnabh» or highly explosive subetaneee ta carried on very special care should be taken in order to avoid even tto smallest rtak, and powder manufacturers now find that the electric light adds a consider- able percentage over gas to the chances of safe operation. While electricity bra tto safety of this branch of in- dustry in one way it lessens it in an- other. There is a great deal of free elec- tricity thrown off in various stages of manufacture, and the disposition of this, so far as it can to removed ont of harm’s way, is a serious question. Tto charge of a powder cake press with ebonite plates may practically be considered as an electric pile, and a large amount of friction or electric in- fluence from outside may cause a suffi- cient electric chargo to give off sparks. Several undisputed cases at this kind have been known. Another source of danger from friction occurs during tto glazing, rounding and sieving of gun- powder. The powder is subjected to a constant rubbing of its particles against each other and duriug tto glazing es- pecially there is danger of electricity ac- cumulating. Therefore precautions should be taken in order to convey away any charge that may accumulate iu the glazing barrels, —New York Telegram. Tb« Meauiug of Blundors* Examining into the matter of blun- ders, particularly iu tracing tto course of tto “mistakes, well meant," in out own lives, when we look back upon them with the cooler understanding at later years we are constrained to con- fess that the “mistake” must have been intended to be there, as well as tto cor- rect action, because the plan of our de- velopment has included both. Continu- ing to study clearly aud deeply we must acknowledge that the mistakes and er- rors—nay, the very sius—when forsaken and forgiven, have helped tto soul up- ward! that all have worked together to accomplish tto result sought; that they must have been put there aad meant so to be, aud so that our "blunders” were nut bluuders at all, but although we sowed and watered often amiss there was always some Increase given which achieved the good we aimed at, but) failed to reach. And deepest of all we see that the divine love, which saw the end from the beginning, tore with a tender compas- sion to look upon our struggles, our weeping, our disheartened sighs. Ah, infinitely greater it is, but like to the love we bear our own children, which U so deep and true that we endure to treat them harshly, and with seeming cruelty behold their tears, knowing surely that one day they will comprehend all tto kindness.—Harper’s Bazar. TUm LuuulDi«» of the Hilda. All our permanent residents among tto birds, both large and small, »re com- paratively limited in their ranges. The crow is nearly as local as the wood- chuck. He goes farther from home in quest of food, hut his territory is well defined, both winter and summer. Hi* place of roosting remuius the same yeat after year, Ouee, while spending a few days at a mountain lake nearly sur- rounded by deep woods, my attention was attracted each night, just at sun- down, by uu osprey that always came from the same direction, dipped into the lake as he passed over it for a sip of it* pure water aud disappeared in the wood* beyond. The routine of bis life was probably as marked as that of auy of ours He fished the waters of the Delaware all day, probably never going beyond a cer- tain limit, and returned each night at sundown, as punctual as a day laborer, to his retreat in the forest. The sip ol water, too, from the lake to never failed to take. All the facts we possess iu regard tu the habits of the soug birds in this re- spect point to the conclusion that tbs sumo individuals return to the same lo- calities year after year to nest and td rear their young.—John Burroughs id Century.

What has my gentle friend, the rose,Told them, if aught, do you suppose—
The rose that tells me things?
What secrets have they had with trees?What romps with grassy spears?
What know they of the mysteries Of butterIILea and honey bees,
Who whisper In my ears?
What says the sunbeam unto them?What tales have brooklets told?
Is there within their diadem A single rival to the gem
The dewy daisies hold?
What sympathy have they with birds. Whose songs are songs of mine?
Do they e’er hear, os though in words ’Twas lisped, the message of the herds
Of grazing, lowing kine?
Ah, nol Give me no lofty thvone,But just what Nature yields.
Let mo but wander on, alone If need be, so that all my own

1’urrots a Source ol Pleasure.There was a time when parrots were
regarded in India and elsowhero a A sacred, and anybody who dated to im jure one of them was regarded as guilty of a dreadful crime. It is true that since then they have fallen somewhat from their high estate, aud that in thi4 more degenerate ago the common Ama* zon parrot lias been shot in great numbers in the eastern parts of Brazil foi the prosaic purpose of making a particular kind of soup to which the nativen are partial, while the naturalist waxen quite eloquent when he sounds Ihn praises of parakeet pie.
But in our own country, though we do not go either to the one extreme ol holding them sacred or to the other extreme of putting them into pies, parrots still occupy a place of honor in out households, aud a well behaved, “pretty Poll,” who has been duly instructed in tiie accomplishments of lier kind, is still the source of as great a degree of pleasure as ever.—Strand Magazine.
Why lie Could Not Attend.An amusing instance of the expedi
enta resorted to by men summoned to attend as common jurymen in order to avoid serving in that capacity occurred recently. One morning a little girl whose eyes just peered above the desk timidly exclaimed:
“Please sir, father can’t come; he can’t put on bis boots.”
The judge asked the nervous lifctlA creature what was the matter with hei parent. She hesitated. Evidently slid bad not been instructed further than tilt statement she had made, and looking straight into the judge’s eyes said:
“ Well, sir, father don’t wear boots he’s got wooden legs. I wasn’t told to say anything else, sir; that’s all."—Lorn don Tit-Bits.
Th« Street llaud’e Delight.One of the delicate delights of the
street band is its propensity to scent out household musicales. In nothing, apparently, do these wandering musicians so much delight as to spring into blatant strains before the house from which issues the voice of song or the modes* music of the pianoforte. They carry the day or rather the night every time for while they can play through and over and above anything, it would tak« a self possessed and steady nerved household performer to hold his own or het own against such rivalry. And then they ring the bell and extend the hat I

The Names of Two Cities.On the principle of “ In Borne do as
the Romans do,” I think it a safe rule to pronounce the name of a piace as the residents of that place do. Hence we should speak of St. Louis as though it were written “St. Lewis,” not “St. Louee.” All good Missourians say “St. Lewis." It is a little difficult to put down in black and white the local pronunciation of New Orleans, but it is something like this, “New Awl-yins,” with the strong accent on the “A wl.”- Cor. New Vork Tribune.

It is obvious that tn a building where the preparation of inflasnjnabh» or highly explosive subetaneee ta carried on very special care should be taken in order to avoid even t to smallest rtak, and powder manufacturers now find that the electric light adds a considerable percentage over gas to the chances of safe operation. W hile electricity bra
tto safety of this branch of industry in one way it lessens it in another. There is a great deal of free electricity thrown off in various stages o f manufacture, and the disposition of this, so far as it can to removed ont of harm’s way, is a serious question.
T to charge of a powder cake press with ebonite plates may practically be considered as an electric pile, and a large amount of friction or electric in fluence from outside may cause a sufficient electric chargo to give off sparks. Several undisputed cases at this kind have been known. Another source of danger from friction occurs during tto glazing, rounding and sieving of gunpowder. The powder is subjected to a constant rubbing of its particles against each other and duriug tto glazing especially there is danger of electricity accumulating.
Therefore precautions should be taken in order to convey away any charge that may accumulate iu the glazing barrels, —N ew York Telegram.

ders, particularly iu tracing tto course of tto “mistakes, well meant," in out own lives, when we look back upon them with the cooler understanding at later years we are constrained to confess that the “mistake” must have been intended to be there, as well as tto correct action, because the plan of our development has included both. Continuing to study clearly aud deeply w e must acknowledge that the mistakes and errors—nay, the very sius—when forsaken and forgiven, have helped tto soul upward! that a ll have worked together to accomplish tto result sought; that they must have been put there aad meant so to be, aud so that our "blunders” were nut bluuders at all, but although w e sowed and watered often amiss there was always some Increase given which achieved the good w e aimed at, but) failed to reach.
And deepest of all w e see that the divine love, which saw the end from the beginning, tore with a tender compassion to look upon our struggles, our weeping, our disheartened sighs. Ah, infinitely greater it is, but like to the love w e bear our own children, which U so deep and true that w e endure to treat them harshly, and with seeming cruelty behold their tears, knowing surely that one day they w ill comprehend all tto kindness.—Harper’s Bazar.
TUm LuuulDi«» of the Hilda.A ll our permanent residents among
tto birds, both large and small, »re comparatively limited in their ranges. The crow is nearly as local as the woodchuck. He goes farther from home in quest of food, hut his territory is w ell defined, both winter and summer. Hi* place of roosting remuius the same y eat after year, Ouee, while spending a few days at a mountain lake nearly surrounded by deep woods, my attention was attracted each night, just a t sundown, by uu osprey that always came from the same direction, dipped into the lake as he passed over it for a sip of it* pure water aud disappeared in the wood* beyond.
The routine of bis life was probably as marked as that of auy of ours He fished the waters of the Delaware all day, probably never going beyond a certain limit, and returned each night at sundown, as punctual as a day laborer, to his retreat in the forest. The sip ol water, too, from the lake to never failed to take.
All the facts we possess iu regard tu the habits of the soug birds in this respect point to the conclusion that tbs sumo individuals return to the same localities year after year to nest and td rear their young.—John Burroughs id Century.
